Passionate about fashion from an early age, I have been carving my path in this universe for over a decade. Brazil is my home, and from it, I absorb all the richness that breathes life into my work. I also have a deep fascination with studying new cultures, and this led me to develop a special affection for Asian culture, particularly traditional Japanese clothing, to which I dedicate my fashion studies. Each piece carries a story, a philosophy of life that goes far beyond what we see on the runways. Immersing myself in this world has been one of the most inspiring steps of my career, and every detail of these ancient garments transports me to an era where tradition and modernity meet in a fascinating way.

Speaking of Japan, it's impossible not to mention another love: Japanese pop culture, especially manga and anime. Storytelling, complex characters, and cultural nuances are constantly reflected in my collections and in how I view fashion. Moreover, I am a dedicated activist for the LGBTQIA+ movement. For me, fashion has always been a territory of freedom, where dressing can be an act of resistance, expression, and celebration of who we are. I deeply believe that everyone should feel comfortable in their own skin and that fashion plays a crucial role in this process of self-acceptance. I strive for fashion to be an inclusive, welcoming space, free of prejudice—fashion with soul and purpose, going beyond aesthetics.

Another essential aspect of my life is my desire to learn, especially when it comes to languages. Whenever I can, I venture into learning something new. This constant curiosity keeps me moving forward, with my feet in the present and my mind in the future. And of course, this relentless quest for knowledge directly impacts my creations. Amid the day-to-day rush, setting aside time for reading is almost a ritual. Informing myself and exploring new worlds through books not only expands my vocabulary but also opens new creative windows. Reading is not just a hobby; it is a fundamental part of my routine, my formation, and my creative process. It's like keeping my mind in a constant gym, exercising ideas and feeding my soul.

Speaking of creativity, it’s impossible to ignore how fully it permeates my life. On one hand, being creative is a blessing—the ideas come like a whirlwind, always fresh, always surprising. On the other hand, this same creativity can be a curse. Sometimes, the flow of ideas is so intense that it’s hard to keep up, organise, and execute everything that comes to mind. It’s a constant battle between creating and filtering, innovating and structuring. But in the end, this creative chaos is what drives me, what gives life to my work, and what makes each project have its own unique energy.

Lastly, there’s a topic that has always been there, silently waiting: writing. Writing has always been a quiet passion. And, to be honest, also a fear. The idea of putting thoughts on paper, of giving voice to the ideas bubbling in my head, has always been a challenge I preferred to postpone. But I’ve decided to face this fear head-on. Perhaps it's time to set aside insecurities and embrace writing the same way I’ve embraced fashion and all the other adventures that have crossed my path. I’m excited to see where this will take me because fashion and words have so much in common: both tell stories, both transform us, and both have the power to make us see the world from a new perspective.
